Writing on a Fair phone 4 it’s amazing to easily replace stuff that breaks but they need to seriously sort out their software side never had a glitchier phone.
What glitches do you have? I also have this one, and I don’t have noticed much issues. The only thing that I noticed is the camera taking a bit of time to return the image when used inside a messaging app, which may be an issue of the app. I have no doubt every phone has some glitches sometimes.
I’ve had all sorts from ghost inputs, slow performance like super lag, going on and off charge affecting apps like Instagram it’ll just play a whole new video and decide it’s now on light mode even though my theme setting is dark. The camera takes ages to start, and you have to hold it still for a second after taking a photo, otherwise it blurs.
I’ll add while it’s cool you can replace things, they are often out of stock for certain modules had to wait months for batteries and screens to come back in.
It all makes the having a flagship phone for more than 5 years a better argument, as I’ve seen very little response or ability from Fairphone to fix these issues.
Great movement and ideology, I just don’t think they’re skilled enough to maintain it well. They just move on to the next new shiny at the same pace a flagship would, defeat the point. They should be following something like the light phone’s development schedule only when it’s nessary of LP doesn’t have the repaiability.
Maybe you have been unlucky with your machine because I haven’t experienced that apart from the slow camera on a messaging app. All I have needed so far is replacing the battery once on my FP2, I’ll probably do that for my 4 too. I agree that the pace of release is a bit too fast given the mission, but I think it’s a commercial compromise they have found to stay afloat.
